“We have been using the Vintessential Laboratory since the inception of Red Hill Brewery 14 years ago. Having a resource to accurately test and report on potential issues has been invaluable. Over the years we have used them to test everything from Water quality and Salts breakdown, to beer quality control, alcohol testing, pH probe calibration and more. The pH probe we bought from them 14 years ago is about the only equipment still working 14 years later. They are great to deal with and the quick turnaround helps us make better beer.”
